There's a link down the article to an even more gut-gnawingly huge fishing vessel, the Russian-flagged 'LaFayette'. It's longer and has only a slightly smaller displacement than the UK's new Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers :\ Article: https://britishseafishing.co.uk/the-lafayette-floating-fish-factory/ https://britishseafishing.co.uk/the-lafayette-floating-fish-...

AFAIK it cannot catch fish, but only process and freeze it. That doesn't make it less grim though. BTW, it seems it's declared as an IUU (pirate) ship. Don't know whether it's still operating or is it possible to operate under these conditions.

That ship was renamed as Vladivostok 2000 and is currently moored in Russia. https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/shipid:349854/mmsi:273455520/imo:7913622/vessel:VLADIVOSTOK_2000 https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/shipid:34...
